About FSA food safety alerts and recalls

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is responsible for food safety and food hygiene across the UK. One of its key roles is to monitor risks linked to food products on sale and to take action when issues are identified that could affect public health. When concerns arise, such as contamination, labelling errors or undeclared allergens, the FSA issues food safety alerts and product recalls to help protect consumers.

These alerts can take several forms. Some relate to products that pose a risk to people with food allergies or intolerances due to incorrect or missing allergen information. Others may involve microbiological contamination, foreign bodies, chemical risks or other safety concerns. In certain cases, alerts are issued to advise retailers, caterers and local authorities on actions needed to remove affected products from sale or manage risks appropriately.

Patient.info republishes FSA food safety alerts so that this information is available quickly and accessibly to both the public and professionals.

The summary shown is taken directly from the FSA’s official publication. To read the full advice, including specific product details and recommended actions, please follow the “Read more” link to the FSA website.

If you are a consumer, follow the advice in the alert carefully, especially if you or someone you care for has a food allergy or intolerance. If you are unsure whether a product you have is affected, do not eat it and check the full notice. If you are a food business operator or professional, you should consult the full alert to confirm your responsibilities and any actions required.
